Trawler Transactions

The Key Moment

Making smart choices immediately after closing on a trawler can help improve your boating experience.

Closing In

What does it take to complete the purchase of a trawler?

Ready, Accept, Go

Survey approval by an insurance carrier clears your path to trawler ownership.

Scoring a Fix (or Two)

Most often, after a trawler is surveyed, negotiations will follow to allow for repairs and close a sale.

Adding Up the Numbers

When a pre-purchase survey finds big-ticket problems, there are smart ways to keep the deal alive.

Critical Issues

Allotting time for a post-survey recap is a vital step in the boat-buying process.

Haul or Nothing

A pre-purchase haulout is a great time to learn more about a boat’s below-water features and is a vital part of the survey process.

The Clearest Eyes

It is imperative that you hire the best surveyor available and that your search to identify that person is given priority treatment as soon as you are ready to write up an offer.

Good Faith

Most purchase and sale agreements stipulate that your deposit is due once the seller accepts your written offer. The amount is normally 10 percent of the contracted price, and typically, it must be received into the broker’s trust account within three business days.

Refit by Design

The concept process behind Croix du Sud demonstrates how to consider a future refit for a classic build.

Hold Tight

Anchoring comes with a lot of variables. Here are the key things to keep in mind in order to stay put.

Wild, Wild West

An Aspen Power Catamarans rally raises the adventure bar with a trip up Vancouver Island’s untamed west coast.

Electric Dreams

Three decades ago, I promised myself I’d return to Norway. In part one of this two-part series, I made it to the fjords and coastal ports of the Telemark region.
